New Hampshire Today’s Chris Ryan: NH and Iowa voters famously punish candidates who feel they are above campaigning. DeSantis attended more events in NH on Saturday as Trump has done this year.

Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany: Governor @RonDeSantis on several occasions has invoked the personal stories of American people... A woman he met who survived an abortion. An angel mom who lost her son to fentanyl because of the cartels. He continually turns it from the Politicians to the People. What Election 2024 is all about... #GOPDebate

Ari Fleischer: Smart move by DeSantis to take charge of that question about climate change. Good answer.

Ari Fleischer: Trump cant like what a good night DeSantis is having.
Steve Deace: Absolutely perfect #ProLife answer from DeSantis.
Kayleigh McEnany: Governor @RonDeSantis spoke about abortion and his pro-life policies by personalizing it. He shared about hearing his daughter's heartbeat for the first time. And then he recalled meeting an abortion survivor, Penny, who was cast aside to die. Very good answer when you listen to it in full. #GOPDebate
Jordan B. Peterson: Compelling words from DeSantis @RonDeSantis on abortion
Jordan Peterson: Governor @RonDeSantis wallops George Soros and his funding of progressive lawmakers

Mary Katherine Ham: Ron DeSantis is extremely correct on school closings and there are bunch of Floridian kids who have less unnecessary mental health problems and learning loss because he stood up to fearmongers and unions.
Steve Deace: Fantastic answer on the border there by DeSantis. That might be his best of the night now.
Ann Coulter: DeSantis is right: Fox's objective seems to be to destroy the Republican Party tonight - Trump, Trump, Trump, Jan 6, Jan 6, Jan 6, abortion and CLIMATE CHANGE.
Caleb Hull: Great point by DeSantis. Democrats want the question of January 6 to come up. Move on.
Rich Lowry: Stone…cold…dead
Chris Loesch: DeSantis had the best mic drop member of the night so far: "I'm not gonna send troops to Ukraine but I am going to send them to the southern border."
Fox News’ Bill Melugin: NEW: DeSantis says he would support sending US special forces across the border into Mexico to combat cartels and target fentanyl labs, etc. Says he would do it on “day one”.
Megan Basham: DeSantis in his wheelhouse on education question--"We need education not indoctrination...In Florida we eliminated critical race theory, we eliminated gender ideology, and we increased instruction on civics, the constitution, and the bill of rights.”
Fox News’ David Asman: As expected, no one talks with more authority about service to our country than the man who volunteered to go to Fallujah at the height of its madness.
